Toronto Employment Lawyers examines the distinction between non-solicitation, non-competition, and non-disclosure agreements and their legality according to Ontario and Canadian Law.
The Ontario Court of Appeal’s decision in Lyons v. Multari [1] has reconfirmed the notion that an employer has an uphill battle in enforcing a non-competition clause in an employment agreement. MacPherson J.A., writing for the Court, reiterated that generally a non-solicitation clause will provide adequate protection for an employer, and only in exceptional cases will the nature of the employment justify a non-competition clause. The Court sought to strike a balance between the freedom of contract and the public policy importance of discouraging contracts that restrict competition. In doing so, the Court once again warned employers that when drafting restrictive covenants, they should take only what they need.

This practice, of linking to a sub-page deep within a website, is called “deep linking.” What is not generally known is that there is some doubt as to the legality of deep linking, and some recent court decisions suggest that deep linking might be impermissible in some cases.

Intellectual property rights are rights in things that you create with your mind. Most property rights protect physical things: if you buy a book, you own it as a physical object. But the book as a literary work is separate from the physical object, and the author needs to have some way to protect his or her rights in that literary work. That is why intellectual property rights were created: so people can protect, and profit from, the creations of their intellect and imagination.
